VBScript to change Adobe Reader Registy

I am trying to create vbscript that will check to see what version of Adobe Reader is installed. If version 9.0 is installed the script needs to change a value in the register.

We deployed Adobe Reader 9.1 via GPO and now anyone with 9.1 cannot open pdf's in a web browser. I found if I change this registry path from version 8 to 9 you are now able to open pdf's in a web browser.

This is an export of the registry value
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe]@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Reader 9.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe\""

If anyone has any other ideas other then script I am all ears. Here is was I have so far for the script.

I had the same thing in my organization and the fix is basically to tell internet explorer where your new AcroRd32.exe is located, as you already figured out.

I was lucky to discover this issue when we were still in testing of the package, before it was deployed to all the users. I modified the package via MST to include this new registry key in the Adobe Reader MSI file and deployed it like that. You can do the same thing with your package and then use it for all future updates, or just update the existing software.

If you don't want to deploy Adobe Reader again with this modification, then one other option would be to have a script go through all the PC's in your domain and change this registry key, if it finds the new Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. This is a very easy script to write and if you want I can do it for you.
That is if you are interested in this kind of solution.
